Russia as of today has undoubtely the best SPAA (Pantsir), groundpounder (Su-25SM3, Ka-50/Ka-52), AGM and overall top tier lineup in terms of depth.
You DON’T need more game dictating toys as other nations do.
Are we still pretending the F-16C isn’t an incredible CAS plane?

You serious?
Kh-38Ls are a destructive force at top tier, and unlike the Russians, the US doesn’t have an SPAAG in game to deal with that range. It’s only fair that the US receives a CAS platform that can compete. It’s not like the F-15E is going to be that much better at A2A- it’s probably going to be worse. But the CAS would be nice.
And before you go “oh but the US had XYZ so long ago so it’s fair” no it isn’t. The game has changed drastically just over the past year, and acting like it is the same circumstances is ridiculous and childish.

So, calm down, show a little patience, and wait like everyone else.
This may be true, but unfortunately a failure to implement successfully does not count, because if it is not fighting ready, it is not fighting worthy. Or capable. So it really was that far behind NATO.
As an advantage F-15C can take full A2G and A2A loadout simultaneously

Well I’d sure hope it can take all of it’s A2A and A2A lol, it would be a problem if it could only take half of its A2A load out lol
Key word there being simultaneously
MiG-31 was the only plane with phased array radar until what, the F-2
You missed some key letters there bud, pretty sure it says A2A twice
Alright, they made a harmless typo

Full A2G + full A2A loadout simultaneously. While Su-27SM will lose mid range missiles if take full A2G.

And I made a harmless joke, your point?
Can’t remember, what were we talking about?
Oh yeah, people complaining that they need 2 incredible top tier US jets in the same update.

And in return there will be no Ir missiles, meanwhile Su-27SM can carry 6R-77+4R-73 loadout.
You should check the overall numbers rather then focusing on single one.

I thought it could carry 2 IR on top of the 8 AIM120? Or are those outer ones only for fuel-pods?
Seems that way, based off some DCS picture I found
meanwhile the other 8 nations waiting for anything even close to the F15C and Su27SMs level of fire power for the next 6+ months

Why all 8? Israel likely will get F-15C Akef, China J-11A MLU, Japan F-15J MSIP. Five.

I really don’t think Eurofighter/Rafale are appropriate right now, if Gripen FM is any indication on how they’ll model eurocanards then we’re in for it…
You’re talking about F15E model if im not mistaken.
Starting with E model all Eagles recieved additional hardpoints for missiles i believe.
